Chapter 55
() Bahrain, Castle Guard, evening.
After contacting him, Li Fang hurried back to his mansion, Li Yuxuan had said that a military meeting would be held after dinner, and he must not be late. Anxious in his heart, Li let go of the reins in his hand, and galloped towards the city guard's mansion, and the soldiers behind him saw that their commander was flying away, and they also hurriedly urged their mounts to catch up.
Li Yuxuan sat around and finished dinner, and the atmosphere during the meal seemed quite tense. From head to toe, Li Yuxuan didn't say a word, put down the bowl after completing his "task", and walked into the back hall alone. It wasn't until everyone was convinced that Li Yuxuan had gone away that the originally tense nerves relaxed.
About an hour after dinner, Li Fang's three high-ranking generals of the "homeland" went to his room to report under Li Yuxuan's "greeting."
Li Yuxuan in the room was the first to sit tall, and he was commenting on a cup of tea, and it was the Panlong Ancient Sword that was placed next to the teacup.
Tang Xu suddenly thought of the scene half a year ago, when he had drunk tea with Li Yuxuan and Li Yuyang, and he still clearly remembered the faint and distant fragrance of the best Longjing. Half a year has passed in a hurry, and now Li Yuxuan no longer seems to be the "big brother" who can fight with him, and now he is the head of the "homeland" and the head of a country.
Now he can no longer find the love of being a brother, but instead the majesty and tolerance of the monarch to his subordinates. Perhaps it is the change of status between them that has caused the current situation. And now Li Yuyang, he originally admired and admired Li Yuxuan so much, and he also relied on his brother.
But now, he could no longer find this familiar thing in his eyes, and the determined look showed that he had become a comrade-in-arms who could entrust life and death on the battlefield. As for his brother, he only has reverence and loyalty in his eyes, which is no longer a brother's eyes on his brother, but a general's eyes on his commander.
Should this be joyful or sad?
"Tang Xu!"
Tang Xu's train of thought was interrupted, and he quickly nodded to indicate that he heard his sovereign's "call" to him. Now, only that title hasn't changed.
"I give you two things now, both of which are tokens related to the life and death of the 'homeland'!" the tone was stern and sincere.
"This is a letter, you give it to Keqing Xu Ruoyu, and you also give him this sword. ”
"The head of the house?"
"Yes, you can leave for Sugel City tonight, remember, you have to arrive as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Tang Xu knew very well that Li Yuxuan would not allow himself to ask any more.
"Also, this is the Black Dragon Talisman of the Right Guard, after you return to Suger, you can temporarily command the Right Guard on behalf of Yu Yang, Yu Yang still has some things to deal with, and he will not return to Sugal in the near future. Li Yuxuan took the Black Dragon Talisman from Li Yuyang's hand and handed it to Tang Xu, and nodded at him, signaling that he could leave now.
After Tang Xu left Li Yuxuan's bedroom, he waved Li Yuyang away. At this point, only he and Li Fang were left in the room.
"Major General Li!"
"The subordinates are here!" Li Fang, who has followed Li Yuxuan for nearly four years, is very clear about the character of his master, who is only nineteen years old, leaving him alone, and there must be something important to order.
"You order your knights to get ready, and I will transfer you and this knight order back to Suger in the near future to assist Xu Ruoyu in defending the city. Recently, Yu Yang and I will go south to Fengxiang, during this time, you have to pay more attention to the Bai family, especially Bai Tengqi and Bai Ruofeng. I have already handed over the external affairs to Xu Ruoyu to be responsible, as for the internal, I need you to worry more!"
"Yes! The subordinates must remember the instructions of the head of the family!"
"From the beginning, you are my most assured!" Li Yuxuan stood up and patted Li Fang's shoulder.
"This is a secret decree that you can use to imprison Bai Tengqi if he makes any changes. If there is no movement from Bai Tengqi before I come back, I will take back this secret order, you know!"
"The subordinates understand, the subordinates thank the family master for his trust, and he will do his best to do his best for the family!" Li Fang knelt on one knee and paid Li Yuxuan the highest respect of a martial artist.
"There are also two secret letters here, before you go back to Suger, send someone to send Wangbulin Pass, and hand them over to Major General Bai and Commander Xu respectively. ”
After Li Fang received the two secret letters, Li Yuxuan yawned.
Li Fang knew that Li Yuxuan's conversation with him was over, and quickly exited the room.
Two secret letters, no need to ask, one letter to Xu Zhixin must have asked Xu Zhixin to monitor Bai Yunqi, but what about the other letter to Bai Yunqi? But since the head of the family didn't say it, as a subordinate, he must also ask more, and just do what the master instructs. What you should know, the master will definitely let you know, and even if you don't know, you have to answer and know. And what you shouldn't know, the master will not let you know, and even if you know, you have to answer that you don't know. Li Fang thought about this very clearly, perhaps because of this reason, he has always been one of Li Yuxuan's most trusted generals.
But Li Fang obviously still underestimated Li Yuxuan.
Li Yuxuan is not very at ease with Bai Yunqi and Xu Zhixin, he will not let Xu Zhixin spy on Bai Yunqi, and naturally he will not let Bai Yunqi spy on Xu Zhixin. In those two so-called secret letters, Li Yuxuan only instructed him to guard the Bollinger Pass, and he would go south. And the two of them, as the main and deputy, are in the same city, how can they not know that the other party has also received a secret letter from Li Yuxuan like himself. In this case, the two people who are wary of each other will definitely not make any big trouble. Even if Bai Tengqi really asked for Bai Yunqi's support, he would never dare to make any moves in this situation.
After arranging the arrangement, Li Yuxuan went to bed with peace of mind.
Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to meet the "eagle" Zheng Jing.
As the commander of the first army, he knew very well that as a leader commanding the army, the "Eagle" was now using the strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west." The purpose of deliberately spreading the news that he is in the southern waters is to lure the big fish to the bait, but this time, I don't know who is the fish? Who is the angler?
Early the next morning, the sea surface of the port of Bahrain was filled with mist, and the sea hundreds of meters away was already completely covered in fog. Five ships of salt had already been loaded onto the ship, and all the crew members were ready to go.
At the end of the dock, the sound of horses' hooves sounded. About four or five minutes later, Li Yuxuan and Li Yuyang came to the salt merchants surrounded by more than ten guards, and the leader was Li Fang, the major general of the "homeland". At this moment, Li Yuxuan and Li Yuyang were both dressed in ordinary clothes, mixed in the middle of more than a dozen guards wearing the same style.
"General Li Fang, are these people?" one of the salt merchants stepped out of the crowd. , asked quite respectfully.
"It's them, thirteen in all, and I'll have to take care of you in the next few days. Li Fang was also quite polite at this moment.
"Where, where!" Although the salt merchant's mouth looked quite polite, he had already begun to look at Li Yuxuan and the others behind Li Fang. Li Yuxuan, Li Yuyang and these soldiers who have experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield obviously have a temperament different from ordinary people. Even though they were dressed in civilian clothes, the kind of murderous aura exuded by them could never be concealed from these businessmen who traveled from south to north. In particular, the weapons on the waists of each of them further accentuate this military temperament.
The salt merchant secretly complained in his heart, but Li Fang had already spoken, how could he dare to offend the city guard? It seems that he should be more careful along the way, and he will offend this gang of fierce and vicious characters. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish eating, and my business will be closed.
Very politely led Li Yuxuan and his party onto the ship, and the salt merchants ordered to pull the anchor and set sail.
It wasn't until the five salt boats disappeared into the sea fog a few hundred meters away that Li Fang withdrew his distant gaze.
Some are obsessed with money, like the merchants, some are obsessed with power, like the bureaucrats and aristocrats like Carol, and some are obsessed with women, like those who spend their days wandering in brothels and taverns. However, his master seems to have an almost crazy obsession with talent. For the sake of a pirate, he did not hesitate to risk his life. I once saw the kind of fiery eyes in his eyes that could burn a qiē, which was a kind of fanaticism that wanted to accept the world's talents for his own use.
The sea breeze in the early morning blew across the sea, and Li Fang also felt the fishy smell and coolness carried by the sea breeze.
With only 5,000 people, he dared to defeat the enemy's 20,000 cavalry and won the victory, and I don't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate to have such a master. But there is no doubt that it must be a very unfortunate thing to be his enemy.
Li Yuxuan, the overlord of this era, will start a new round of his journey. Is this fortunate or unfortunate for the people of the mainland?
